His pen has been prolific. "From Sire to
Son." his latest composition. is said to be
the best play that Milton Mobiles has ever
written, and one which can claim more ORR
ginality of plot and action than most of the
American plays prodoced in the last de-
csde. It is story of western lie; two
acts occur en- the California COST and the
concluding ones in Europe. There is q
happy mixture Of humorous AMI dramatic
episodes and the performance invariably
maintains The interest of the audience to
the end Of the last act. Mr.. Mobiles is
particularly strong in his impersonation
Of Alfred Armytsge. He invests the part
OF the reformed gambler with genuine
human interest and mas been the recipi-
ent OF enthusiastic applause wherever he
has appeared in this piece. Dolly Mobiles,
his talented wife, has dual role in From
Sire to Son.
Miss Cheatham, who met such hearty
welcome in Bort Worth, is thus intro
duced to the people of New York by the
Mirror: "Miss Kitty Cheathan, a new
recruit to the Casino opera forces, is o
southern belle. She halls from Nash
vile, and comes OFFS well known Tennes-
see family. She is relative of General
Cheatham, a distinguished officer Of the
Confederate army Before going
upon the professional boards, Miss
Cheatham was well known
through the south IS an amateur
actress and singer, and was favorite in
society. Her first professional experience
was with "Tbe Professor" which had
been converted into musical comedy.
Lister she attracted the attention of Man
ager John A. McCaull, who engaged her
for one OF his opera companies. Miss
Chestham remained with Manager Nc
Caull one season, and was then engaged
by Manager Rudolph Aronson for the
Casino. She is now appearing In q prin-
cipal role in sErminie," and is member
OF the company that recently entered
upon two months engagement in Phil
adelphis. Miss Cheatham is a remarkably
handsome young woman and fine vocal
ist, and st the same time possesses s
goOdlY share of dramatic ability.

THE RESUL IN VIE

The good results expected from the
immigration movement recently insugur-
ated have already commenced to appear.
All that now remains Is for the people
through their committee to carry out the
work undertaken, and food the eastern
and middle states with literature. The
Texas railroads will not be derelict. The
sentiment of the state means immigra-
ton, and it must come. Outside rail-
roads will join with Texas railroads and
low rate Of fare may be expected. As
an evidence Of the willingness of rail-
roads outside the state to cooperate
General Passenger Agent Snow may be
quoted, who says
81 am favored with yours of November 26,
and fully sgree with you that the rates are too
high to attract much travel to the state of
Texas; however, l shall be very glad to confer
with the Ines leading from st. Louis to Texas
and shall he very glad to participate In any re-
duction that they may see fit to make. Any
and all advertising matter which may be for
warded from the state of Texas to this office
will receive prompt attention, and will guar
antee that 1t viii ce carefully circulated by the
travelling passenger agents of this company. If
at any time any of the citizens Of the state of
Texas desire to visit Chicago upon this business
1t will be my pleasure to attend uch meeting
ss they may call, and they can rely upon tn e
Wabash to assist in their cause"
This Is just what we want. An UNDER
standing with all the roads and low
rate. Our people should go to work and
assist the committee in preparing adver-
Using matter. The ball has started and
it will gain momentum every day.

A Merry ChriRtm as,

The Christmas souvenirs prepared by
the passenger department of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway Company, for
their friends. the press representatives.
and ticket agents, are worthy of more
than passing mention. They are hand
some steel ensravings OF high artistic
merit. The handsome dogs cannot fail to
receive cordial welcome, whether in
maiden's bower or cozy bachelors re-
treat. The souvenirs will fulfill their
double mission, noting the passage Of
each day and perpetusting the sentiments
OF cordial esteem mutually existing be-
tween the Great Northwestern and its
multitude Of friends and patrons.

THE GREAT IRON MOUNTAIN

In Cherokee County-OapitaIists and Hon
est, Easrgetic Immigrants Wanted.
THE GAZETTE takes great pleasure in
acknowledging the receipt Il number
Of fine specimens Of iron ores which were
on exhibition at the Grand Windsor ho-
tel, Dallas, during tae great immigration
convention, held in the city on. the 20sh
and 2lst inst, exhibited by the immigra-
ton delegation from Cherokee county,
the members of which were: T. q.
Jones, r. 81. Morris, G. Emanuel and A.
0 Lester, representative men of that
county, Who are interested in developing
the rich and inexhaustible mines of iron
ore, long since discovered, and which has
proven OF such rich quality, but only re-
Gently developed. There is very large
area Of country in Cherokee county which
is; practically speaking, literally ell iron
beneath the surface. In fact there is not
a section, OF any knowledge, in the state,
or scarcely elsewhere, of equal wealth,
breadth and depth that can boast of q
greater quantity Or richer quality of iron
ore. Rusk 10 the county seat of Cherokee,
and Jacksonville, a fourishing town, are
situated in the midst Of this great mine of
bNtOiGs WColtus DUH GuSSC
towns are inhabited with cultured and
energetic people-men like those named
in the delegation to the Dallas convention
-relis BILE and responsible. Outside of
these rich iron mines that extend at least
thirty miles in length and many
miles in width, it Is q rich
agricultural country. Cotton and fruit
especially are produced in abundance,
and the people are getting rich and pros
porous. Altogether, outside its wonder
full advantages in iron productions and
manufactures, it is o most desirable
place in which to live. They are enter
prising people and embrace every oppor-
tunity TO forward their community in
intelligence, wealth end prosperity The
iron mines perhaps are the greatest
source Of attraction. They are very ex-
tensive, very rich, the iron having stood
the test of terrible strength and found
superior to almost any known
iron in the world. This iron
has proved to be superior
as MURAL iron, excellently adapted for the
manufacture Of bar iron. 4 test was re-
Gently made CT one-inch square bar pieces
on Rickles' seventy-fve-ton testing ms
chine with surprising results, proving
more than satisfactory. Texas is very
rich in her natural resources, yet unde-
veloped, but here in Cherokee is great
discovery and development, anywhere
else would create a furore scarcely
equaled on this globe. The purpose Of
this account, short and imper-
feet IS it Is, is to call
the worlds attention to the
of these ores and the inexhausti-
bic supply Of these wonderful mines, the
tenth part OF which cannot be told in SO
short an article. Capitalists, men of
brain and money, win find this indeed q
bonanza. The people of this county are
alive to the Importance of the situation
and the times and invite you most sin
cerely and cordially to come and see for
yourselves.
